Since KBBQ isn't the healthiest thing you can eat specifically during late night you want to make each trip count since it won't be a while till you find yourself in front of the hot grill grilling those juicy marinated meat. I guarantee you after pigging yourself out you'll be so revolted you don't want to ever eat this grease buffet again. Yet I swore to myself multiple times that this would be my last! Nevertheless another month has gone by and my longing for KBBQ has return.\n\nThere are actually three locations for Chako in the GTA; Scarborough, Markham and Mississauga. I however only been to the Scarborough and Markham locations, hence this review will reflect on these two places. \n\nLet's get on with the good stuff.\n\nIf you ever do go during dinner time you can experience the full chako experience along with their Izakaya menu's (Japanese - Sushi etc...) the price would put you alongside other AYCE diners. The sushi itself is not bad, a lot of rice though. \n\nTIP: If you want to eat rice, don't order a rice on the side just order sushi eat the fish sashimi style and use the vinegar flavor rice as your base for the meat: P\n\nBeef: the beef is amazing here, the marinate in my opinion is much better than Korean grill house. Personally this is the dish you most refilling the most. 9/10 -1 for inconsistency \n\nChako Select Beef: This one is overrated, its just a mediocre steak with their own unique spice, try it if you must but you'll find yourself favoring the regular beef 8/10 \n\nBeef Ribs: Decent, if you are a rib lover you can dine on this all night. 8.5/10\n\nPork: Basically Bacon, I'm not big on pork myself. Better than Korean Grill House 7/10 \n\nChicken: Better than most KBBQ places marinade is well suited for BBQ 8.5/10\nFish Fillet: Basically Basa Fillets, big portions well marinated (natural flavor) 8.5/10\n\nSquid: Squid Lover so might be a bit biased, again its only squid you either like it or not. 9.5/10\n\nIce cream: If you want the best mango ice cream Chako has it. They also have green tea however I'm not big on green tea. \n\nAppetizers: miso soup 8.5/10 very well flavored. Salad 8.5/10 usually I'd avoid the cheap stuff at buffets but the salad is interestingly enough to try out. \n\nOver all the Scarborough location is a bit hectic thus the food is more fresh compared to the one at east beaver creek in Markham. The consistency at the Scarborough store is considerably superior, down side is despite advertising a smoke free atmosphere the Scarborough air circulation system is not as good as the one in Markham. Overall 9/10, remember moderation, self-control, is key to getting the most out of each visit."^^ . .
